The ladies worked together on the movie The Help and were nominated that year, with Octavia taking home the Best Supporting Actress prize.

This year, Jessica is nominated for Best Actress for her work in Molly’s Game and Octavia is up for Best Supporting Actress for her work in The Shape of Water. They are also strong supporters of the Time’s Up movement!

During the hilarious interview – during which Melissa was dressed as a giant candy cane – Melissa made Octavia talk about her “competitive problem,” how early she set up her Christmas tree this year (hint: it was before Thanksgiving!) and an especially silly story involving peanut butter, sleep-eating and spoons.

Melissa even unearthed some classic footage of the two working together!
